can be used for ‘Mulching’ i.e. the blade finely cuts
up the grass during mowing. The grass then falls
into the lawn where it is allowed to rot.
This provides the lawn with nourishment.
To remove the plug, press in the catch (R - fig. 6).
On reinstalling the plug ensure that both pins are
pressed firmly into the holes so that the plug snaps
in place.
2. COLLECTION
Assemble the grass collector provided (fig. 5).
Open the flap, remove the plug and instead hook
the collector onto the rear of the machine.
When mowing, the grass is collected in the collec-
tor.
Empty the grass onto the compost heap or spread
it over borders as fertiliser. The machine is also
ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.
3. REAR EJECTION
Use the mower without the plug or the grass col-
lector (flap closed). The grass is released behind
the machine without being cut up.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do
not start in long grass.
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to
the spark plug.
3. Press in the Start/Stop loop G towards the han-
dle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loop G must be kept
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.
7).
4. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by
pulling briskly on the starter cord.
5. For the best mowing results, the engine should
always be driven at full throttle.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges. This
can cause burn injuries.
Release the Start/Stop loopG (fig. 7) to stop the
engine.
If the start/stop loop ceases to work,
stop the engine by removing the spark
plug cable from the spark plug.
Immediately take the lawn mower to an
authorised workshop for repair.
REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop J
towards the handle. Disengage the drive by releas-
ing the clutch loop J (fig. 7).
CUTTING HEIGHT
Do not set the cutting height so low that
the blade(s) come into contact with
uneven ground.
The mower has single-lever control for adjusting
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the
cutting height to one of the nine positions best
suited to your lawn (fig. 8).
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT – Regular, careful maintenance is
essential for keeping the safety level and origi-
nal performance of the machine unchanged in
time.
Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning,
maintenance or adjustment operation on the
machine.
Should it be necessary to access the lower part,
only tilt the machine from the side shown in the
engine handbook; following the relative instruc-
tions.
CLEANING
Carefully clean the machines with water after each
cut; remove the grass debris and mud accumulat-
ed inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus
making the next start-up difficult.
The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may
peel off in time due to the abrasive action of the cut
grass; in this case, intervene promptly by touching
up the paintwork using a rustproof paint to prevent
the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of
the metal.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the
screws S (fig. 9) and clean around the transmission
and drive belts with a brush or compressed air
once or twice a year.
Once every season, the drive wheels should be
cleaned internally. Remove both wheels.
Clean the gear wheel and the wheel gear rim of
grass and dirt using a brush or compressed air (fig.
10).
